MAVS NEWS:

[Reunion Mav]

Just make it painless Mavs.  I do t think anyone really wants to see more Mavs this year.  Two playin wins and then being destroyed by OKc.  Just lose against the kings.  I am out of the country for a few weeks and don’t plan on watching the playin.

Maybe next year we come back.  Excited?  I think that is doubtful.  They need to make miracles happen to get any excitement back.

I may PO the vast majority of this board but here goes. I won’t be surprised and would be fine if Nico gets fired especially if ownership brings in a high quality GM staff as well as an equally high quality training staff. J Kidd seems to have improved and done well lately. 

I would also be fine if Nico is kept. I don’t think the Luka decision was really his. I think someone in ownership made a character decision about Luka based on their understanding of team observations of Luka’s behavior. Their observations fooled them into making what will probably be one of the worst sports decisions of all time. Their observations hit their biases in all the wrong ways, it blinded them and …..

However, this sounds like way higher than a GM decision to me. They are still in charge. They may ask Nico to take our still existing high quality players and a few assets and trust Nico to make them look good. They must recognize their epic mistake by now. They may fire Nico to save face but they might also recognize that they should have trusted him when he tried to tell them no. Nico has made about 75% good player moves in the past. He and Kidd’s relationship with Kyrie has made Kyrie work outstandingly well here. 

Anyway there is no need to correct me or get all upset about my observation. I think I’m still allowed to have it. I will be watching the playoffs with interest because I just still love basketball. I will also look forward to next year. There are numerous Cubs fans in my family. I guess they wore off on me.
